Established in 1999, they are the oldest fresh pesto producers in Ireland and epitomise what clean food is all about. Genovese hand make their range in small batches, blending the taste of fresh healthier ingredients and using techniques that allow those flavours to develop naturally and unhurried.

Genovese produce pesto and tapenade to time honoured Italian recipes using only traditional Italian ingredients. Their suggestion for the festive season is to: “Add our pesto to your cheese or charcuterie board this Christmas.”
